All members of the Church are called to continue the work of Jesus in proclaiming and being a sign of the kingdom of God. As such, all faithful members of the Church are called saints. In another sense, the term saints refer to those deceased members of the church who have led lives of heroic virtue and have been officially recognized (canonized) by the Church.

The purpose of this project is to research a saint of the Church. You will be randomly assigned the saint for your research. This project will be a major grade. The successful completion of this project requires you to:

1. Identify credible sources for research.
2. Present accurate and comprehensive information about your saint.
